Estradiol and progesterone modulate central serotonergic activity; however, the mechanism(s) of action remain unclear. Recently, estradiol-induced progestin receptors (PRs) have been localized within the majority of serotonin (5-HT) neurons in the female macaque dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN;Bethea [199

A simple pre-embedding avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique was used to study the ultrastructural localization of mu-1 opioid receptor in the rat dorsal raphe nucleus. Using low concentrations of the first antiserum for incubation with a short reaction time to 3,3'-diaminobenzidine, the immuno
A high density of opioid receptor-like 1 (ORL1) receptor (also referred to as NOP receptor) is found in limbic areas and in regions containing monoamines, which are implicated in emotional activity and physiopathology of depression and anxiety. We aimed at defining precisely the localization of ORL1
